In a sign the coronavirus pandemic may be nearing an end, the Haverhill Board of Health today rescinded its previous protective mandates, opting instead to follow Gov. Charlie Baker’s timetable for a return to normalcy.
The Health Board repealed its first order, adopted more than a year ago, that placed conditions on essential businesses, such as extra cleaning, mask wearing and prohibitions on gatherings. It also ended requirements to wear masks while downtown and in certain other zones and prohibitions on youth sports, both adopted separately last October. Health Board Chairman Peter Carbone explained the city is now relying only on state policy for consistency.

A wooden mixed-use building not far from the downtown Haverhill train station is slated to become five apartments if the City Council gives its approval for a special permit tonight.
Developer Timothy Woodland proposes to locate five residences at 149-153 Washington St. According to the application, the existing building was built around 1900 and converted in 2003 to a commercial condominium on the first floor and two residential condominiums on the second floor. Under Woodland’s plan, the second floor would remain two units, but three residences would be created on the first floor.
